I'm so very sorry. It's hard to comprehend how these things happen. I will miss Deb so much! She had a beautiful smile and such a caring way about her. Amazing mother and friend. Every time I was with her it was a time where I would laugh and have so much fun. Sending you all strength during this very difficult time. I was blessed to have Deb in my life.

Darling Debbie,Words can never convey what losing you means. The loss to all of us, but most especially Jim, Luke and Avery is not possible to express. Ron and I are honored to have known you and your memory will never fade.

I first met Deb in Kindergarten at Rosary Academy where we became friends. Funny to think we became related many years later and then developed a lasting friendship. Deb brought happiness to all and I will never forget that. My deepest condolences go out to Jim, Luke, and Avery as well as her parents and sisters. She was one of the best! Always in my memories!

I first met Debbie when she was a 14 year old girl in a school uniform and she knocked on my door. She was the first babysitter to my children when we lived a couple of doors away in Waltham. She was always a bright light in our life. She continued to help me, whenever asked, even after I moved away. She was full of grace and i loved her. Though I have not seem her in years, I will miss her. The world is certainly dimmed without her shining light in it. I am holding her family in my thoughts and prayers.
